Your first website for a new business: what you really need

By Underpixel Studio · 17 Oct 2026 · 5 min read

When you start a business, a website can feel like a big project. It does not have to be. For most new businesses, one good page is enough to start: it tells people what you do and makes it easy to contact you.

What that one page needs

  • What you do, in one sentence, right at the top.
  • Your services or products, with prices or "from" prices if you can.
  • Proof: photos of your work, a few reviews, or the brands you work with.
  • Where you serve: your area or "delivery across Malaysia".
  • How to reach you: a WhatsApp button and a short enquiry form.

More pages can come later, when you have more to say. Starting small means you go live faster and spend less.

Domain and hosting, in plain words

  • Domain = your address, like yourbusiness.com.my or yourbusiness.com. You renew it every year. A .com.my address needs a registered business; a .com does not.
  • Hosting = the space on a server where the website lives. Also paid yearly.
  • Buy both in your own name. Then the website stays yours, whoever builds it.

What to prepare before you call a designer

  • Your logo (even a simple one).
  • A few good photos: products, your shop, your work. Phone photos are fine if they are sharp and bright.
  • A short description of what you do and who you serve.
  • Your WhatsApp number, email and business hours.
  • One or two websites you like the look of.
